TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to a milling system and method under different lubrication conditions.

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

At present, milling is the most commonly used machining technology in the mechanical manufacturing industry, because it has high efficiency, wide range and high precision. But the tool will be abraded sharply and disabled quickly since the very short contact time between the tool and the workpiece can make a violent friction between the front surface of the tool and the chip, and the back surface of the tool and the workpiece to produce a lot of cutting heat, which will seriously restrict the improvement of processing efficiency.

Milling force is an important parameter in milling process, which is directly related to the vibration of the system, the quality of the workpiece surface and the abrasion of the tooth. In the process of metal cutting, the cutting vibration between the tool and the workpiece, the cutting force in the machining process and the dynamic characteristics of the cutting system, are intrinsically related. In traditional machining, the choice of tool angle is too conservative due to the neglect of the dynamic characteristics, which not only reduces the machining efficiency, but also makes the milling system unstable due to the improper selection of the tool angle. At the same time, the cutting force in the cutting process is a necessary factor to maintain the stability of the cutting system and avoid vibration, so it is significant to design the tool based on the analysis about the milling force. In addition, a kind of self-excited vibration may occur in milling process to generate regenerative flutter, which will lead to poor surface finish, premature tool abrasion, and potential damage to the machine or tool. The emergence of regenerative flutter fundamentally limits the efficiency of mechanical processing. The unequal spiral angle tool has been proposed to avoid the regenerative flutter, which can reduce the probability of the flutter and reduce the vibration amplitude from the source, thus to reduce the abrasion rate of the tool and improve the processing quality of the workpiece surface through reasonable design.

Products for spiral angle tool have been carried out by applicants comprising Harbin University of Technology, Zhuzhou diamond cutting tools LTD., Mitsubishi composite materials co., to achieve the stable cutting to a certain extent.

Referring to FIG. II-14, analysis for the milling force is done. When milling, the tangential force F_(t)(ϕ), the radial force F_(r)(ϕ), the axial force F_(Q)(ϕ) are represented as:

$\begin{matrix} \left\{ \begin{matrix} {{{dF}_{t,j}(\varphi)} = {{K_{tc}{h_{j}\left\lbrack {\varphi_{j}(z)} \right\rbrack}d\; z} + {K_{te}{dz}}}} \\ {{{dF}_{r,j}(\varphi)} = {{K_{rc}{h_{j}\left\lbrack {\varphi_{j}(z)} \right\rbrack}d\; z} + {K_{re}{dz}}}} \\ {{{dF}_{a,j}(\varphi)} = {{K_{ac}{h_{j}\left\lbrack {\varphi_{j}(z)} \right\rbrack}d\; z} + {K_{ae}{dz}}}} \end{matrix} \right. & (1) \\ {{h_{j}\left\lbrack {\varphi_{j}(z)} \right\rbrack} = {f_{t}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}} & (2) \end{matrix}$

Wherein, K_(tc), K_(rc), K_(ac) respectively represents cutting force coefficients of tangential, radial, and axial lines, K_(te), K_(re), K_(ae) respectively represents corresponding marginal force coefficients, namely the plowing coefficients resulted from the friction or plowing of the back surface of the cutting blade, dz represents the thickness of each element, h(ϕ) represents the instantaneous chip thickness (periodical variation), f_(t) represents the feed rate (mm/r), ϕ represents the instantaneous tooth position angle (°). Equations 1 and 2 are modified as follows:

$\begin{matrix} \left\{ \begin{matrix} {{{dF}_{t,j}(\varphi)} = {\left\lbrack {{K_{tc}f_{t}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} + K_{te}} \right\rbrack {dz}}} \\ {{{dF}_{r,j}(\varphi)} = {\left\lbrack {{K_{rc}f_{t}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} + K_{re}} \right\rbrack {dz}}} \\ {{{dF}_{a,j}(\varphi)} = {\left\lbrack {{K_{ac}f_{t}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} + K_{ae}} \right\rbrack {dz}}} \end{matrix} \right. & (3) \end{matrix}$

Referring to FIG. 12, the horizontal force and the normal force can be deduced from the tangential force and the radial force:

$\begin{matrix} \left\{ \begin{matrix} {{{dF}_{x,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)} = {{{- {{dF}_{t,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)}}\cos \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} - {{{dF}_{r,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}}} \\ {{{dF}_{y,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)} = {{{+ {{dF}_{t,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)}}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} - {{{dF}_{r,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)}\cos \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}}} \\ {{{dF}_{z,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)} = {{dF}_{a,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)}} \end{matrix} \right. & (4) \end{matrix}$

Equations 3 and 4 are modified as follows:

$\begin{matrix} \left\{ \begin{matrix} {{{dF}_{x,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)} = {{{- \left\lbrack {{K_{tc}f_{t}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} + K_{te}} \right\rbrack}\cos \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}{dz}} - {\left\lbrack {{K_{rc}f_{t}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} + K_{re}} \right\rbrack \sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}{dz}}}} \\ {{{dF}_{y,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)} = {{\left\lbrack {{K_{tc}f_{t}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} + K_{te}} \right\rbrack \sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}{dz}} - {\left\lbrack {{K_{rc}f_{t}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} + K_{re}} \right\rbrack \cos \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}{dz}}}} \\ {{{dF}_{z,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)} = {\left\lbrack {{K_{ac}f_{t}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} + K_{ae}} \right\rbrack {dz}}} \end{matrix} \right. & (5) \\ \left\{ \begin{matrix} {{{{dF}_{x,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)} = {\left\{ {{\frac{f_{t}}{2}\left\lbrack {{{- K_{tc}}\sin \; 2\; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} - {K_{rc}\left( {1 - {\cos \; 2\; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right)}} \right\rbrack} + \left\lbrack {{{- K_{te}}\cos \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} - {K_{re}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right\rbrack} \right\} {dz}}}\;} \\ {{{dF}_{y,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)} = {\left\{ {{\frac{f_{t}}{2}\left\lbrack {{K_{tc}\left( {1 - {\cos \; 2\; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right)} - {K_{rc}\sin \; 2\; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right\rbrack} + \left\lbrack {{K_{te}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} - {K_{re}\cos \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right\rbrack} \right\} {dz}}} \\ {{{dF}_{z,j}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)} = {\left\lbrack {{K_{ac}f_{t}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} + K_{ae}} \right\rbrack {dz}}} \end{matrix} \right. & (6) \\ {{{{F_{q}\left( {\varphi_{j}(z)} \right)} = {{F_{q}\left( {\varphi (z)} \right)} = {\int_{z_{j,1}}^{z_{j,2}}{{dF}_{q}\left( {\varphi,z} \right)}}}},{q = x},y,z}\ } & (7) \end{matrix}$

Referring to FIG. 13, cutting force only generate when the tool is in the cutting area, namely:

Down milling: when ϕ_(st)≤ϕ≤ϕ_(ex), F_(x), F_(y), F_(z)≥0,

$\left( {{\varphi_{st} = {\pi - {\arccos \frac{R - a_{p}}{R}}}},{\varphi_{ex} = \pi}} \right)$

Up milling: when ϕ_(ex)≤ϕ≤ϕ_(st), F_(x), F_(y), F_(z)≥0,

$\left( {{\varphi_{st} = \pi},{\varphi_{et} = {\pi - {\arccos \frac{R - a_{p}}{R}}}}} \right)$

Wherein, ϕ_(st), ϕ_(ex) respectively represents the cut-in angle and cut-out angle of the tool, R represents the radius of the tool, a_(p) represents the radial cutting depth.

$\begin{matrix} {{\varphi_{j}(z)} = {{2{\pi {nt}}} - {\left( {j - 1} \right)\frac{2\pi}{N}} - \frac{2z\; \tan \; \beta}{R}}} & (8) \end{matrix}$

Wherein, n represents the rotate speed of the tool, t represents the time, N represents the amount of tool teeth, a_(e) represents the axial cutting depth, β represents the spiral angle, j represents that the j^(th) tooth is cutting.

Besides, it should be noted that there may be several teeth cutting at the same time, which depends on the amount of the tool teeth and the radial cutting thickness. The tooth spacing angle of the tool is given as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {\varphi_{p} = \frac{2\pi}{N}} & (9) \end{matrix}$

When the angle swept by the tool teeth is larger than the tooth spacing angle, more than one teeth are cutting at the same time. When several teeth are cutting, contribution of each tooth to the total feed force and the normal cutting force should be taken into consideration. Meanwhile, it should be noted that, the cutting thickness at the instantaneous cutting position of each tooth will be different since there is a tooth spacing angle between each two teeth of the tool.

What can be deduced from the quotation 8 is as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {{d\; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} = {{- \frac{2\tan \; \beta}{R}}{dz}}} & (10) \\ {{{dz} = {{- \frac{R}{2\tan \; \beta}}d\; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}},\left\{ \begin{matrix} {z = {\left. z_{j,1}\rightarrow{\varphi_{j}(z)} \right. = {\varphi_{j}\left( z_{1} \right)}}} \\ {z = {\left. z_{j,2}\rightarrow{\varphi_{j}(z)} \right. = {\varphi_{j}\left( z_{2} \right)}}} \end{matrix} \right.} & (11) \end{matrix}$

The quotation 7 can be modified as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {{F_{q}\left( {\varphi_{j}(z)} \right)} = {{- \frac{R}{2\tan \; \beta}}{\underset{\varphi_{j}{(z_{1})}}{\int\limits^{\varphi_{j}{(Z_{2})}}}{{dF}_{q}\left( {{\varphi_{j}(z)},{q = x},y,z} \right.}}}} & (12) \end{matrix}$

The quotation 12 and quotation 6 can be modified as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {\quad\left\{ \begin{matrix} {{F_{x,j}\left( {\varphi (z)} \right)} = {{- \frac{R}{2\tan \; \beta}}{\underset{\varphi_{j}{(z_{1})}}{\int\limits^{\varphi_{j}{(Z_{2})}}}\left\{ {{\frac{f_{t}}{2}\left\lbrack {{{- K_{tc}}\sin \; 2{\varphi_{j}(z)}} - {K_{rc}\left( {1 - {\cos \; 2{\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right)}} \right\rbrack} +} \right.}}} \\ {\left. \left\lbrack {{{- K_{te}}\cos \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} - {K_{re}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right\rbrack \right\} d\; \varphi} \\ {{F_{y,j}\left( {\varphi (z)} \right)} = {{- \frac{R}{2\tan \; \beta}}{\underset{\varphi_{j}{(z_{1})}}{\int\limits^{\varphi_{j}{(Z_{2})}}}\left\{ {{\frac{f_{t}}{2}\left\lbrack {{K_{tc}\left( {1 - {\cos \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right)} - {K_{rc}\sin \; 2\; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right\rbrack} +} \right.}}} \\ {\left. \left\lbrack {{K_{te}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} - {K_{re}\cos \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right\rbrack \right\} d\; \varphi} \\ {{F_{z,j}\left( {\varphi (z)} \right)} = {{- \frac{R}{2\tan \; \beta}}{\underset{\varphi_{j}{(z_{1})}}{\int\limits^{\varphi_{j}{(Z_{2})}}}{\left\lbrack {{K_{ac}f_{t}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} + K_{ae}} \right\rbrack d\; \varphi}}}} \end{matrix} \right.} & (13) \\ \left\{ \begin{matrix} {{F_{x,j}\left( {\varphi (z)} \right)} = \left\{ {- {\frac{{Rf}_{t}}{8\tan \; \beta}\left\lbrack {{K_{tc}\cos \; 2\; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} - {K_{rc}\left( {{2{\varphi_{j}(z)}} - {\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right\rbrack} +} \right.}} \right.} \\ \left. {\frac{R}{2\tan \; \beta}\left\lbrack {{K_{te}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} - {K_{re}\cos \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right\rbrack} \right\}_{\varphi_{j}{(z_{1})}}^{\varphi_{j}{(z_{2})}} \\ {{F_{y,j}\left( {\varphi (z)} \right)} = \left\{ {{- {\frac{{Rf}_{t}}{8\tan \; \beta}\left\lbrack {{K_{tc}\left( \; {{2\; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} - {\sin \; 2{\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right)} - {K_{rc}\cos \; 2{\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right\rbrack}} +} \right.} \\ \left. {\frac{R}{2\tan \; \beta}\left\lbrack {{K_{te}\cos \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} - {K_{re}\sin \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right\rbrack} \right\}_{\varphi_{j}{(z_{1})}}^{\varphi_{j}{(z_{2})}} \\ {{F_{z,j}\left( {\varphi (z)} \right)} = \left\{ {\frac{{Rf}_{t}}{2\tan \; \beta}\left\lbrack {{K_{ac}\cos \; {\varphi_{j}(z)}} + {\frac{R}{2\tan \; \beta}K_{ae}{\varphi_{j}(z)}}} \right\rbrack} \right\}_{\varphi_{j}{(z_{1})}}^{\varphi_{j}{(z_{2})}}} \end{matrix} \right. & (14) \end{matrix}$

What is obtained considering the influence of interrupted cut when ϕ_(st)≤ϕ≤ϕ_(ex) is as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {{A(\varphi)}\left\{ \begin{matrix} 1 & {\varphi_{st} \leq \varphi \leq \varphi_{ex}} \\ 0 & {else} \end{matrix} \right.} & (15) \end{matrix}$

Each item in the sum formula represents the contribution of each tooth made to the cutting force. The contribution of tool tooth j made to the total cutting force will be zero if it is out of the cutting area.

The estimated value of milling force in each direction can be summarized through quotation 16, and the real-time milling force while cutting can be simulated.

$\begin{matrix} {{F_{x} = {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^{N}\; {{A(\varphi)}{F_{x,j}\left( \varphi_{j} \right)}}}},{F_{y} = {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^{N}\; {{A(\varphi)}{F_{y,j}\left( \varphi_{j} \right)}}}},{F_{z} = {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^{N}\; {{A(\varphi)}{F_{z,j}\left( \varphi_{j} \right)}}}}} & (16) \end{matrix}$

The marginal force coefficient can be ignored when calculating the best spiral angle of the tool since it makes little influence to the force in three directions. For example, single-blade cutting is considered first to study the influence rule between the spiral angle and the milling force in Y-axis direction.

Wherein, ϕ(z₁)=ϕ(0)=ϕ,

${{\varphi \left( z_{2} \right)} = {{\varphi \left( a_{p} \right)} = {\varphi - \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}}}},$

the force in Y-axis direction can be obtained according to quotation 16 as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {F_{y} = {\frac{K_{tc}f_{t}a_{p}}{2} + {\frac{K_{tc}f_{t}R}{4\tan \; \beta}\sqrt{\left( \frac{K_{rc}}{K_{tc}} \right)^{2} + 1}\left\{ {{\sin \left\lbrack {{2\left( {\varphi - \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}} \right)} - \theta} \right\rbrack} - {\sin \left( {{2\varphi} - \theta} \right)}} \right\}}}} & (17) \end{matrix}$

Wherein,

${{\tan \; \theta} = \frac{K_{rc}}{K_{tc}}},{\psi = {\sqrt{\left( {{\cos \; \frac{2a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}} - 1} \right)^{2} + \left( {\sin \; \frac{2a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}} \right)^{2}}.}}$

What can be obtained is

$F_{y} = {\frac{K_{tc}f_{t}a_{p}}{2} + {\frac{K_{tc}f_{t}R}{4\tan \; \beta}{\sqrt{\left( \frac{K_{rc}}{K_{tc}} \right)^{2} + 1} \cdot \sin}\; \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}{{\sin \left( {{2\varphi} - \theta - \theta^{\prime}} \right)}.}}}$

Wherein,

${\tan \; \theta^{\prime}} = {\frac{\sin \left( {2a_{p}\tan \; \beta \text{/}R} \right)}{{\cos \left( {2a_{p}\tan \; \beta \text{/}R} \right)} - 1}.}$

The peak force can be achieved when

${{2\; \varphi} - \theta - \theta^{\prime}} = {\frac{\pi}{2} + {2k\; {{\pi\left( {{k = 0},1,2,\ldots}\; \right)}.}}}$

$\begin{matrix} {F_{ymax} = {\frac{K_{tc}f_{t}a_{p}}{2} + {\frac{K_{tc}f_{t}R}{2\tan \; \beta}{\sqrt{\left( \frac{K_{rc}}{K_{tc}} \right)^{2} + 1} \cdot \sin}\; \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}}}} & (18) \end{matrix}$

Derivation can be done to F_(ymax):

$\begin{matrix} {{\frac{{dF}_{ymax}}{d\; \beta}\infty \; {{d\left( \frac{\sin \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}}{\tan \; \beta} \right)}/d}\; \beta} = {\cos \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}\frac{1}{\sin^{2}\beta}\left( {{\frac{a_{p}}{R}\tan \; \beta} - {\tan \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}}} \right)}} & (19) \end{matrix}$

when

${\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R} \leq \frac{\pi}{2}},$

since

${{\cos \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}} \geq {0\mspace{20mu} {and}\mspace{20mu} \frac{1}{\sin^{2}\beta}} \geq 0},$

the symbols of

${\frac{{dF}_{ymax}}{d\; \beta}\mspace{14mu} {and}\mspace{20mu} \frac{a_{p}}{R}\tan \; \beta} - {\tan \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}}$

are same, when β=0,

${{{\frac{a_{p}}{R}\tan \; \beta} - {\tan \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}}} = 0},$

so

${{{d\left( {{\frac{a_{p}}{R}\tan \; \beta} - {\tan \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}}} \right)}/d}\; \beta} = {{\left( {1 - \frac{1}{\cos^{2}\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}}} \right)\frac{a_{p}}{R}\frac{1}{\cos^{2}\beta}} \leq 0.}$

It is monotonic decreasing and the maximum is 0, so it's always smaller than 0.

When

${\frac{\pi}{2} \leq \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R} \leq \pi},{{{\frac{a_{p}}{R}\cos \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}\frac{1}{\cos^{2}\beta}\tan \; \beta} \leq 0};}$

otherwise,

${\sin \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}\frac{1}{\cos^{2}\beta}} \geq 0.$

$\begin{matrix} {{\frac{{dF}_{ymax}}{d\; \beta}\infty \; {{d\left( \frac{\sin \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}}{\tan \; \beta} \right)}/d}\; \beta} = {\frac{\begin{matrix} {{\left( {a_{R}/R} \right){\cos \left( {a_{p}\tan \; {\beta/R}} \right)}\left( {{1/\cos^{2}}\beta} \right)\tan \; \beta} -} \\ {{\sin \left( {a_{p}\tan \; {\beta/R}} \right)}\left( {{1/\cos^{2}}\beta} \right)} \end{matrix}}{\tan^{2}\beta} \leq 0}} & (20) \end{matrix}$

The above analysis shows that the peak cutting force decreases with the increase of the spiral angle of the tool.

The spiral angle can be chosen considering multi-blade eclipsing effect referring to FIG. 14. When

${\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R} \geq \frac{2\pi}{N}},$

there are several cutting blades cutting at the same time. So the actual change of the cutting force can be determined based on the bimodal decreasing and the eclipsing effect. It means that, there may be critical value of the spiral angle β for the peak cutting force, the peak cutting force will decrease when the spiral angle is smaller than the critical value and increases when the spiral angle is larger than the critical value.

Eclipsing effect may take place only when the cut-in angle ϕ_(st) and cut-out angle ϕ_(ex) meet the following conditions,

${{\varphi_{ex} - \varphi_{st}} \leq \frac{2\pi}{N}},$

the critical spiral angle can be calculated when two cutting blades is cutting at the same time, and the force at Y-axis direction is represented as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {F_{y} = {{{- \frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2\; \tan \; \beta}}\left( {{\varphi (z)} - \frac{\sin \; 2\; {\varphi (z)}}{2} + {\frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}}\frac{\cos \; 2\; {\varphi (z)}}{2}}} \right)_{\varphi}^{\varphi_{st}}} - {\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2\; \tan \; \beta}\left( {{\varphi (z)} - \frac{\sin \; 2\; {\varphi (z)}}{2} + {\frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}}\frac{\cos \; 2\; {\varphi (z)}}{2}}} \right)_{\varphi_{ex}}^{\varphi + {({2{\pi/N}})} - {({a_{p}\tan \; {\beta/R}})}}}}} & (21) \\ {F_{y} = {{\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2\; \tan \; \beta}\left( {\varphi_{ex} - \frac{\sin \; 2\; \varphi_{ex}}{2} + {\frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}}\frac{\cos \; 2\; \varphi_{ex}}{2}} - \varphi_{st} + \frac{\sin \; 2\; \varphi_{st}}{2} - {\frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}}\frac{\cos \; 2\; \varphi_{st}}{2}}} \right)} + {\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2\; \tan \; \beta}\sqrt{\left( \frac{K_{t}}{K_{t}} \right)^{2} + 1}{\sin \left( {\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}\frac{2\pi}{N}} \right)}{\sin \left( {{2\varphi} - \theta - \theta^{''}} \right)}} + {\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2\; \tan \; \beta}\left( {\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}\frac{2\pi}{N}} \right)}}} & (22) \end{matrix}$

What is defined:

${{\tan \; \theta} = \frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}}},{\tan \; \theta^{''}\frac{\sin \; 2\left( {\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R} - \frac{2\pi}{N}} \right)}{{\cos \; 2\left( {\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R} - \frac{2\pi}{N}} \right)} - 1}},$

When

${{{2\varphi} - \theta - \theta^{''}} = {\frac{\pi}{2} + {2k\; {\pi\left( {{k = 0},1,2,\ldots}\; \right)}}}},$

the peak force in Y-axis direction can be achieved:

What can be obtained according to the quotation

${\varphi_{ex} - \varphi_{st}} \leq {\frac{2\pi}{N}\mspace{20mu} {and}\mspace{20mu} \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}} \geq \frac{2\pi}{N}$

is as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {\frac{{dF}_{ymax}}{d\; \beta} \geq {{\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2\; \sin^{2}\; \beta}\sqrt{\left( \frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}} \right)^{2} + 1}{\cos \left( {\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}\frac{2\pi}{N}} \right)}\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}} - {\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2\; \sin^{2}\; \beta}\sqrt{\left( \frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}} \right)^{2} + 1}{\cos \left( {\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}\frac{2\pi}{N}} \right)}\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2\; \sin^{2}\; \beta}\sqrt{\left( \frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}} \right)^{2} + 1}\sin \; \varphi_{st}{\cos \left( {\varphi_{st} - \theta} \right)}{{\infty cos}\left( {\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}\frac{2\pi}{N}} \right)}\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}{\sin \left( {\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}\frac{2\pi}{N}} \right)}} - {\sin \; \varphi_{st}{\cos \left( {\varphi_{st} - \theta} \right)}}} \geq \chi_{1}} & (25) \end{matrix}$

Wherein,

$\chi_{1} = {{{\cos \left( {\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R} - \frac{2\pi}{N}} \right)}\frac{2\pi}{N}} - {\sin \left( {\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R} - \frac{2\pi}{N}} \right)} - {\sin \; \varphi_{st}{{\cos \left( {\varphi_{st} - \theta} \right)}.}}}$

F_(ymax) is an increasing function if χ₁≥0, and a decreasing function if

${\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R} \leq \frac{2\pi}{N}},$

that is to say, it increases at first and then decreases, so minimum value of F_(ymax) can be obtained when

${\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R} = \frac{2\pi}{N}},$

namely

$\beta = {\arctan {\frac{2\pi \; {R/N}}{a_{p}}.}}$

What should be considered is whether χ₁≥0 is correct when

${\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R} \geq \frac{2\pi}{N}},{0 \leq {\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R} - \frac{2\pi}{N}} \leq ɛ}$

is taken into consideration, ε is a selected figure which is relatively small.

${{\cos \left( {\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R} - \frac{2\pi}{N}} \right)} \approx 1},{{\sin \left( {\frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R} - \frac{2\pi}{N}} \right)} \approx 0}$

It can be obtained according to formula 25 that

${\chi_{1} \approx {\frac{2\pi}{N} - {\sin \; \varphi_{st}{\cos \left( {\varphi_{st} - \theta} \right)}}}},$

and χ₁≥0 when

$\frac{2\pi}{N} \geq {\sin \; \varphi_{st}{{\cos \left( {\varphi_{st} - \theta} \right)}.}}$

As a result it can meet the condition if

${N \leq {{int}\left( \frac{2\pi}{\sin \; \varphi_{st}{\cos \left( {\varphi_{st} - \theta} \right)}} \right)}},$

wherein int (*) represents rounding off positive number. For example,

${N \leq {{int}\left( \frac{2\pi}{1} \right)}} = 6$

if sin ϕ_(st) cos (ϕ_(st), −θ)≤1, namely χ₁≥0 if N<7. Actually, the tool with less than 7 blades is the most commonly used processing tool. The critical spiral angle can be obtained through formula 26.

$\begin{matrix} {\beta = {\arctan \frac{2\pi \; {R/N}}{a_{p}}}} & (26) \end{matrix}$

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the choosing of the spiral angle of the single spiral blade. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the choosing of the spiral angles of two spiral blades. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the choosing of the spiral angles of three spiral blades. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing the choosing of the spiral angles of four spiral blades.

Referring to FIG. 15-18, curves in FIG. 15-18 can be obtained according to the quotation 26, equal-spiral-angle tool with minimum milling force can be chosen according to the diameter and axial cutting depth of the tool when choosing single or multiple spiral blades, which can reduce the milling force, the abrasion and the cutting heat, thus improving the cutting efficiency and quality.

FIG. 19 is an illustrative diagram of the unequal spiral angle tool. FIG. 20 is a diagram showing the unfolded spiral blades of the unequal spiral angle tool.

Referring to FIG. 20-21, the design of unequal spiral angle tool is illustrated. The unequal spiral angle tool includes a handle component, a neck component and a blade component, the handle component is mounted on the spindle IV-8, a machine tool is used to fix the holder component of the tool. The blade component is connected with the handle component through the neck component. The blade component used to cut is provided with multiple spiral blades, and the spiral angles of the blades are different from each other. If there are two blades, β₁≠β₂. If there are three blades, β₁≠β₂≠β₃. If there are four blades, β₁≠β₂≠β₃≠β₄. In the present embodiment, it is regarded that β₁=β₃=β, β₂=β₄=β+n, n represents the difference of the spiral angles. Considering the design of spiral angles of unequal spiral angle tool, the milling force in Y-axis direction can be represented as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {F_{y} = {{{- \frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2\tan \; \beta}}\left( {{\varphi (z)} - \frac{\sin \; 2{\varphi (z)}}{2} + {\frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}}\frac{\cos \; 2{\varphi (z)}}{2}}} \right)_{\varphi}^{\varphi_{st}}} - {\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}\left( {{\varphi (z)} - \frac{\sin \; 2{\varphi (z)}}{2} + {\frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}}\frac{\cos \; 2{\varphi (z)}}{2}}} \right)_{\varphi_{ex}}^{\varphi + {({2{\pi/N}})} - \frac{a_{p}{\tan {({\beta + n})}}}{R}}}}} & (27) \end{matrix}$

What can be obtained after further calculation is as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {F_{y} = {{{\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2\tan \; \beta}\left( {{- \varphi_{st}} + \frac{\sin \; 2\varphi_{st}}{2} - {\frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}}\frac{\cos \; 2\varphi_{st}}{2}} + \varphi} \right)} - {\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}\left( {\varphi_{ex} - \frac{\sin \; 2\varphi_{ex}}{2} + {\frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}}\frac{\cos \; 2\varphi_{ex}}{2}} + \varphi + \frac{2\pi}{N} - \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}} \right)} - {\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{4\tan \; \beta}\sqrt{\left( \frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}} \right)^{2} + 1}{\sin \left( {{2\varphi} + \theta} \right)}} + {\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{4{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}\sqrt{\left( \frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}} \right)^{2} + 1}{\sin \left( {{2\varphi} + \frac{4\pi}{N} - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R} + \theta} \right)}}} = {{\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2\tan \; \beta}\left( {{- \varphi_{st}} + \frac{\sin \; 2\varphi_{st}}{2} - {\frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}}\frac{\cos \; 2\varphi_{st}}{2}} + \varphi} \right)} - {\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{4\; \tan \; \beta}\sqrt{\left( \frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}} \right)^{2} + 1}{\sin \left( {{2\varphi} + \theta} \right)}} - {\frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{\quad\left\lbrack {\varphi_{ex} - \frac{\sin \; 2\varphi_{ex}}{2} + {\frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}}\frac{\cos \; 2\varphi_{ex}}{2}} + \varphi + \frac{2\pi}{N} - \frac{a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R} - {\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\left( \frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}} \right)^{2} + 1}{\sin \left( {{2\varphi} + \frac{4\pi}{N} + \theta - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right)}}} \right\rbrack}}}}} & (28) \end{matrix}$

The milling force of the unequal spiral angle tool when milling workpiece can be simulated according to the formula. And formula 29 can be obtained through derivation:

$\begin{matrix} {\frac{{dF}_{y}}{dn} = {{\frac{A}{\sin^{2}\left( {\beta + n} \right)}\left\lbrack {B - {C\; {\sin \left( {D - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right)}} - \frac{a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right\rbrack} - {\quad{\quad{\quad{\frac{A}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}{\quad\left\lbrack {{- \frac{a_{p}}{R\; {\cos^{2}\left( {\beta + n} \right)}}} + {\frac{2{Ca}_{p}}{R\; {\sin^{2}\left( {\beta + n} \right)}}\left. \quad{\cos \left( {D - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right)} \right\rbrack {\quad{= {\frac{AB}{\sin^{2}\left( {\beta + n} \right)} - {\frac{AC}{\sin^{2}\left( {\beta + n} \right)}{\sin \left( {D - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right)}} - {\frac{AC}{\sin^{2}\left( {\beta + n} \right)}\frac{2a_{p}}{R\; {\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{\cos \left( {D - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right)}}}}}}} \right.}}}}}}} & (29) \end{matrix}$

Wherein,

${A = \frac{K_{t}f_{t}R}{2}},{B = {\varphi_{ex} - \frac{\sin \; 2\varphi_{ex}}{2} + {\frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}}\frac{\cos \; 2\varphi_{ex}}{2}} + \varphi + \frac{2\pi}{N} - \frac{a_{p}\tan \; \beta}{R}}},{C = {\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\left( \frac{K_{r}}{K_{t}} \right)^{2} + 1}}},{D = {{2\varphi} + \frac{4\pi}{N} + \theta}}$

When

$D \geq {\frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}\text{:}\mspace{14mu} \frac{{dF}_{y}}{dn}} \geq {\frac{AB}{\sin^{2}\left( {\beta + n} \right)} - {\frac{AC}{\sin^{2}\left( {\beta + n} \right)}{\cos \left( {D - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right)}} - {\frac{AC}{\sin^{2}\left( {\beta + n} \right)}\frac{2a_{p}}{R\; {\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{\cos \left( {D - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right)}}} \propto {B - {C\; {\cos \left( {D - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right)}} - {\frac{2a_{p}C}{R\; {\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{\cos \left( {D - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right)}}} \geq \chi_{2}$

Wherein,

$\chi_{2} = {B - {C\mspace{11mu} {\sin \left( {D - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right)}} - {\frac{2a_{p}C}{R\; {\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{{\cos \left( {D - \frac{2{a_{p}\left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right)}.}}}$

F_(y) is an increasing function if χ₂≥0, and is a decreasing function if

${D \leq \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}},$

it decreases at first and then increases, so the minimum value of Fy can be achieved when

${D = \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}},$

namely

${{2\; \varphi} + \frac{4\pi}{N} + \theta} = {\frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}.}$

It can be seen that the angle difference is related to the cutting depth, the radius, the spiral angle and the amount of blades, so a minimum milling force can be ensured by choosing optimal angle difference of the unequal spiral angle tool according to different conditions.

What should be considered is whether χ₂≥0 is correct when

$D \geq {\frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}.0} \leq {D - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \leq ɛ$

is taken into consideration, ε is a selected figure which is relatively small.

As a result,

${{\cos\left( {D - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right)} \approx 1},{{\sin\left( {D - \frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}} \right)} \approx 0.}$

It can be obtained that

${\chi_{2} = {B - \frac{2a_{p}C}{R\; {\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}}},{{{and}\mspace{14mu} \chi_{2}} \geq 0}$

when

$B \geq {\frac{2a_{p}C}{R\; {\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}.}$

Since

${B \geq \frac{2\pi}{N} \geq \frac{2a_{p}}{R\; {\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}} \geq \frac{2a_{p}C}{R\; {\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}},$

it is enough that

$\frac{2\pi}{N} \geq {\frac{2a_{p}}{R\; {\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}.}$

As a result, it can meet the condition if

${N \leq {{int}\left( \frac{R\; {\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}\pi}{a_{p}} \right)}},$

wherein int (*) represents rounding off positive number. For example, N≤31 if R=16 mm, β+n=38°, a_(p)=0.5 mm. Namely, if N<32, χ₂≥0, which can be achieved easily. Therefore, the angle difference can be obtained through formula,

${{2\varphi} + \frac{4\pi}{N} + \theta} = {\frac{2a_{p}{\tan \left( {\beta + n} \right)}}{R}.}$

FIG. 21 is an illustrative diagram of the plane cutting angle. FIG. 22 is an illustrative diagram of the shear area. FIG. 23 is a force analysis diagram in shear area. FIG. 24 is a velocity diagram.

Referring to FIG. 21-24, the design for tool is illustrated. II-4-1 represents the rear angle which is mainly used to reduce the friction between the back cutting surface and the transition surface. Due to the elastic and plastic deformation in the process of chip formation and the effect of the blunt circle radius of the blade, there is an elastic recovery layer on the transition surface. An appropriate rear angle can improve the quality of the processed surface and the service life of the tool. I-4-2 represents the back surface of the tool. II-4-3 represents the front angle of the tool, which may influence the deformation degree of the cutting area. And it may also influence the strength, the force nature and the heat dissipation conditions of the blade and tool head, which means that, increasing the front angle of the tool will reduce the strength of the blade and tool head, reduce the thermal conductivity area and heat capacity volume of the tool head, and excessively increasing the front angle may lead to bending stress at the blade, causing blade breakage. And it may also influence the chip shape and chip breaking effect, which means that, reducing the front angle may increase the deformation of the chip and resulted in easy embrittlement and fracture. And it may also influence the quality of the processed surface. II-4-4 represents the chip groove which is used to accommodate the chip. The chip groove will be easily filled when cutting if it is too small. II-4-5 represents the front surface of the tool.

The material of the cutting layer is plastically deformed from the surface CD, that is the initial shear plane of the first deformation zone. The deformation ends on the surface EF, that is the terminal shear plane of the first deformation zone, and the shear strain is the maximum. The shear strains on surface CD, AB and EF are represented as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {{\gamma_{CD} = 0},{\gamma_{AB} = \frac{\cos \; \gamma_{0}}{2\sin \; {{\varphi cos}\left( {\varphi - \gamma_{0}} \right)}}},{\gamma_{EF} = \frac{\cos \; \gamma_{0}}{\sin \; {{\varphi cos}\left( {\varphi - \gamma_{0}} \right)}}}} & (30) \end{matrix}$

The shear angle ϕ in above formula can be determined by the following formula.

$\begin{matrix} {\varphi = {\arctan \frac{\cos \; \gamma_{0}}{\xi - {\sin \; \gamma_{0}}}}} & (31) \end{matrix}$

Wherein, ξ represents the material deformation coefficient that is related to material, and γ₀ represents the front angle of the tool.

The plastic deformation in the shear zone will increase the temperature of the shear surface, and the temperature variation in shear zone ΔT_(SZ) related to the shear force can be calculated by the formula 32.

$\begin{matrix} {{\Delta \; T_{sz}} = {\frac{1 - \beta_{T}}{\rho \; {Sa}_{c}a_{w}}\frac{F_{z}\cos \; \gamma_{0}}{\cos \left( {\varphi - \gamma_{0}} \right)}}} & (32) \end{matrix}$

Wherein,

$\left. \begin{matrix} {\beta_{T} = {0.5 - {0.35\mspace{11mu} {\log \left( {R_{T}\; \tan \; \varphi} \right)}}}} & {0.04 \leq {R_{T}\tan \; \varphi} \leq 10.0} \\ {\beta_{T} = {0.3 - {0.15\mspace{11mu} {\log \left( {R_{T}\; \tan \; \varphi} \right)}}}} & {{R_{T}\tan \; \varphi} > 10.0} \end{matrix} \right\},$

R_(T) represents the coefficient of the dimensionless thermal,

${R_{T} = \frac{\rho \; {SVa}_{c}}{K}},$

ρ represents the density (Kg/m³) of the workpiece material K represents the thermal conductivity coefficient (m²·° C.) of the workpiece material, S represents the specific heat (g·° C.), V represents the cutting speed.

The average temperature on the shear surface T_(AB) is as follows:

T _(AB) =T _(w) +ηΔT _(sz)  (33)

Wherein, T_(w) represents the environmental temperature (° C.), η represents the plastic work transform heat coefficient, the value of η is 0.7.

The flow stress towards the line AB is represented as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {k_{AB} = {\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}{\sigma_{0}\left( {1 + \frac{ɛ_{ab}}{ɛ_{0}}} \right)}^{n}\left( \frac{{\overset{.}{\overset{\_}{ɛ}}}_{ab}}{{\overset{.}{\overset{\_}{ɛ}}}_{0}} \right)^{m}\left( {1 - \frac{T_{AB}}{T_{m}}} \right)^{l}}} & (34) \end{matrix}$

Wherein, σ₀ represents the initial yield stress (1000 MPa), ε₀ represents the initial strain

${ɛ_{0} = \frac{\sigma_{0}}{E}},$

n represents the strain index (0.1), {dot over (ε)}represents the strain speed, {dot over (ε)} represents the yield strain speed, m represents the strain speed index (0.0143), T represents the cutting temperature, T_(m) represents the melt temperature related to the material, I represents the temperature softening coefficient (0.75).

The shear force on the shear surface is as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {F_{s} = {{k_{AB}l_{AB}a_{w}} = \frac{k_{ab}a_{p}a_{w}}{\sin \; \varphi}}} & (35) \end{matrix}$

Wherein, k_(AB) represents the shear stress towards the line AB, l_(AB) represents the length of the shear surface AB, a_(w) represents the cutting width.

There are three velocities in cutting process, including the cutting speed v, the chip speed v_(c), and the shear speed v_(s). The cutting speed is the linear speed of the tool. These three velocities are connected end to end and form a closed triangle based on continuity conditions. The chip speed and the shear speed are represented as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {v_{c} = {\frac{\sin \; \varphi}{\cos \left( {\varphi - \gamma_{0}} \right)}v}} & (36) \\ {v_{s} = {\frac{\cos \; \gamma_{0}}{\cos \left( {\varphi - \gamma_{0}} \right)}v}} & (37) \end{matrix}$

The shear energy is represented as follows:

E _(s) =F _(s)ν_(s)  (38)

The angle θ between the shear surface AB and the shear surface resultant R is called as a cutting angle:

θ=ϕ+β−γ₀  (39)

It can be obtained according to mechanics of materials that,

${\varphi + \beta - \gamma_{0}} = {\frac{\pi}{4} = {\theta.}}$

The cutting resultant R in shear zone is represented as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {R = {\frac{F_{s}}{\cos \; \theta} = \frac{k_{ab}a_{p}a_{w}}{\sin \; \varphi \; \cos \; \theta}}} & (40) \end{matrix}$

According to the principle of force balance on shear surface, the relationship between the cutting force (F_(c)) in the direction of the cutting speed, the cutting force (F_(t)) in the direction of the cutting thickness and the cutting resultant can be deduced as follows

$\begin{matrix} \left\{ \begin{matrix} {F_{c} = {R\; {\cos \left( {\beta - \gamma_{0}} \right)}}} \\ {F_{i} = {R\; {\sin \left( {\beta - \gamma_{0}} \right)}}} \end{matrix} \right. & (41) \end{matrix}$

The formula 40 can be modified as follows:

R=√{square root over (2)}k _(ab) a _(p) a _(w) csc ϕ  (42)

According to the curve of y=cscx, y is monotonic decreasing when x∈(0,π/2), monotonic increasing when x∈(π/2, π), and minimum when x=π/2.

According to the theory, the shear angle is less than π/4, therefore, when ϕ=π/4, the cutting resultant is the minimum. According to the formula 31, the optimal front angle of the tool is related to the material deformation coefficient. According to the experiment and production experience, the thickness of chip is generally larger than the thickness of the cutting layer, the length of chip is less than the length of the cutting layer. Since the width of chip and the width of the cutting layer change little, the deformation coefficient is generally larger than 1 according to the law of constant volume. If the deformation coefficient is 1.1, the optimal front angle is 7°, if the deformation coefficient is 1.2, the optimal front angle is 12°.

According to the empirical formula of the milling force, the functional relation between the milling force and the front angle, the rear angle and the spiral angle of the tool is as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {F = {{k_{1}\left( \frac{k_{2} - {1.5\; \gamma_{0}}}{100} \right)}^{k_{3}}a^{k_{4}}\beta^{k_{5}}}} & (43) \end{matrix}$

Wherein, a represents the rear angle, k₁, k₂, k₃, k₄ respectively represents a constant.

k₁, k₂, k₃, k₄ can be defined according to experiments. The empirical model about the relationship between the milling force and the geometry parameters of tool can be obtained from experiments.

F=e ^(1.369)(e ^(5.163)−γ)^(1.401) a ^(0.227)β^(−1.003)  (44)

The coefficient of the rear angle is larger than 0 and less than 1, the larger the rear angle is, the larger the milling force will be. Therefore a smaller rear angle should be chosen. On the contrary, since the rear angle can reduce the abrasion between the back surface of tool and the manufacturing surface of workpiece, the quality of the workpiece surface will be poor if the rear angle is too small. Therefore, according to the experience, both the small milling force and good surface quality of workpiece can be ensured when the rear angle is 10°-15°.
